Dr Manivannan received his doctorate degree (DPhil) in optical pattern recognition from department of engineering science, the University of Oxford, UK, in 1997 and his bachelor's degree {BEng (Hons)} with first class Hons in electrical and electronic engineering from the City University, London, UK in 1994. He then worked for Motorola, Symbian Ltd and Open Trade Technologies Ltd; mainly in Computer Modelling/ Software development for scientific applications. He then spent some good time in teaching electronics and maths at further education colleges at Degree level in UK before joining Brunel University as a Researcher.
